The final of the annual All-China Russian Language and Culture Competition "Golden Key" was recently held at the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing (RCC).
This year, 17 of the strongest finalists in the youth category (ages 19-27) took to the main stage after undergoing a rigorous selection process. Talented students from Xiamen, Harbin, Fuzhou, Shanghai, Jilin, Tianjin, and many other Chinese cities flocked to the capital.
The final battle was intense and consisted of two challenges. The first round was a spontaneous dialogue competition, where participants, having drawn a topic, had to prepare and perform mini-performances in just a few minutes, demonstrating not only linguistic mastery but also wit and acting skills. At the end of this round, only half of the contestants were allowed to continue the competition. The second, decisive challenge was a quiz on the intricacies of the Russian language, literature, history, and culture.
The jury faced an incredibly challenging task—all the finalists excelled, demonstrating a profound command of the language, broad erudition, resourcefulness, and genuine passion for the subject. The competition fully demonstrated the high level of preparation of young Russian linguists in China and, of course, selected the winners.

1st place – Qiu Junkai (Jinan School of Foreign Languages)
2nd place – Pan Haoyu (Jinan School of Foreign Languages)
2nd place – Yu Anna (Manzhouli City Middle School)
